  • BBC Archives auction

    From Theo@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 7 18:05:55 2022
    https://www.ppauctions.com/auction/351/bbc-archives-phase-1

    Multi phase disposal programme due to the reorganistion of the archive facilities 2022 to 2024 Over 500 lots of High Quality Broadcast Equipment


    Looks to be lots of old stuff - reel to reel, telecine etc.

    That auction house seems to be the preferred outlet for ex BBC kit - they
    have regular sales.

    There are a few good quality reel to reel recorders in the auction, but
    as it's an auction, the won't be known until the virtual hammer goes down.

    Buyers premium of what 15.5 % plus VAT?.

    Then you've got to get to Aunby which is in the middle of nowhere in
    Lincs..

    Give him a keyboard, and he will reveal himself.

    They allow online bidding if you fancy taking the risk of getting a lemon.

    It's also easier for me to get to than a London or Cardiff Venue.

    Yes did that an HP audio test set, things full of large boards with lots
    of old world chips therein.

    Bought another and thats fine but a good high spec soundcard will do
    just as well these days..

    It's also easier for me to get to than a London or Cardiff Venue.


    Mind you if you do get to Aunby there is an odd landmark just down the
    line near there:-)..

    Is this stuff also from the old Record library. Is that still in existence, including the phonograph cylinder player with the custom made Goldring Cartridge?
